Massive intervention in the heart of Périgueux for domestic violence

The busy Rue Gambetta in Périgueux was closed to traffic for over an hour starting at 11 a.m. on Thursday, August 28. This caused some disruption, but also prompted a large number of curious onlookers to come and see what was going on. And for good reason: police officers, motorcyclists, firefighters, and emergency medical services were all present on the scene. Finally, after several minutes of intervention in this residential building located not far from the Carthage restaurant, the officers finally left with a man on a stretcher.

According to initial reports and the neighborhood, the police intervened following domestic violence and a man who was difficult to control "who was breaking everything." To arrest him, the police called the fire brigade and the emergency medical services, who sedated the individual before transporting him to the hospital and then taking him into custody.
